Jamie Dornan Quitting ‘Fifty Shades’ Rumor: Charlie Hunnam To Have Returned?

As rumors recently swirled that Jamie Dornan would be quitting ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’, fans began wondering what the studio’s Plan B would’ve been.  Would Charlie Hunnam, the original choice for Christian Grey, have accepted the role the second time around?
Thankfully, after much speculation and anxiety, Jamie Dornan, 32, confirmed on Feb. 24 that rumors of his departure from the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise were unfounded (phew!) Still, the rumors really got people to thinking about who could replace him if he were to leave the Red Room forever. Who would be fit to pick up the flogger where he left it last? Many began to hope that Charlie Hunnam, 33, would return to the role he turned down prior to Jamie’s casting. HollywoodLife.com learned EXCLUSIVELY what his answer would’ve been.

Charlie Hunnam Fifty Shades Of Grey Script

Charlie Hunnam Didn’t Like ‘Quality’ Of ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Script

When Charlie Hunnam signed on for the role of Christian Grey, apparently he didn’t read the script! In addition to his busy schedule of filming his FX hit, ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ Charlie reportedly left ’50 Shades’ because he didn’t appreciate ‘the quality’ of the script!
Charlie Hunnam wasn’t ready for whips and handcuffs just yet. Universal Pictures’ statement said the 33-year-old actor officially dropped out of 50 Shades of Grey on Oct. 12 due to his “immersive TV schedule,” but it’s actually much more than that.
